Change is POSSIBLE
Perception is only, always, and all ways, a choice. Notice how you define your circumstances and then how you respond to that definition you believe is the ONLY truth of the situation. Read my choice of words and then write a few of your own sentences with completions; feel their effect on YOU. What feelings are 'flavoring' your thoughts? flowing through your body? Thoughts come to pass, NOT to stay, unless >>> YOU focus on them.... and when you do, how are you choosing to let them make you feel and behave? Here are the results of my choosing to 'dig a little deeper' into my mindsets.
How much do I know about my own brain ? Do I ever stopped to think about "how" I am using it ? Not often enough. It's easy to forget the fact the brain is my personal "genie." It provides exactly what I tell it to provide. It is always, and in all ways, "user friendly". Here is it's job description = to ensure my survival at all costs..... while remaining totally under MY command.
Now.....I do recall some of the thought directions I have been giving my Genie: "Oh, no, I'm beginning to ache all over again ", "I won't be able to ____", "I'm helpless in this _____", "I don't know how to _____", "I don't'know what I'm going to do about ______ "," I'm sick of calling/asking people to _____" Supportive??? TRUE ???? Hummmm
NOT AT ALL ! Notice the feelings I ASKED my brain to produce for me...the requests I gave for me to my ever-obedient brain. Now when I say these same statements out loud, how do they make me FEEL? Need to guess OUCH
What other things might I tell my self today? or not tell my self
Thoughts I DON'T tell myself can be equally as damaging. Am I telling my "victim" thoughts to other people in my life? Yes, I get it...these thoughts were painting me as a "victim". Do I really think my brain didn't listen? that people didn't listen......and.....accept my "truth" Ridiculous in retrospect; oblivious to me in those moments.
Who is choosing to think these thoughts? Who is speaking them? writing them? Are these thoughts/statements supportive ? or could they be interfering with my authentic choices..NOT supportive of my goals/actual desires? masking my 'best choice'? Was I being my "best coach" or.....my "worst enemy" ? Who was/is choosing? ME ME ME ME ME...... Only and all ways ME.
Thoughts are energy....thoughts can become spoken words = a vibration which my body responds to 24/7... Thoughts flow through my brain by the thousands, however I am TOTALLY capable of noticing my thought and
.either consciously ALLOWING it to vibrate into my day's reality as 'victim'.... or to silently say "thank you for sharing" and CHANGE MY PERCEPTION of its value.
Many years ago I learned this 'fact' from Tony Robbins and Byron Katie: "There is no such thing as a VICTIM.... only willing volunteers responding to their own thought systems." It's only true if I make it true. Jediah K. Ahern 2004 |
